3 Ikuti twabikka matomu mukanwa lyamabbiza ikutegwa kaatumvwida, tulayeendelezya ayalo mibili yangawo yoonse.
4 Alimwi amubone mato: Nokuba kuti mapati kapati alimwi atontwa aguwo pati, alanyonwa ankasi insyoonto kapati kutozya kufwumbwa sikweenzya nkwayanda kuti aunke.
5 Mbubonya buyo, mulaka awalo ncizo ciniini camubili pele ulalidunda kapati. Amubone, takaliceeli kaka kalilo ikaumpa syokwe pati!
6 Alimwi mulaka uli mbuli mulilo.+ Mulaka uli mbuli nyika iizwide kutalulama akati kazizo zyesu, nkaambo usofwaazya mubili woonse+ akunyonyoona buumi bwamuntu boonse mbubonya mbuli buumpa mulilo alimwi uladonekwa a Gehena.*
7 Nkaambo misyobo yoonse yabanyama bamusyokwe, bayuni, banyama bakalaba alimwi azilenge zyamulwizi zilakonzya kweendelezyegwa alimwi zyakeendelezyegwa kale abantu.
8 Pele kunyina muntu naba omwe uukonzya kweendelezya mulaka. Taujatiki alimwi mubi, uzwide musamu uujaya.+
9 Tulaubelesya kutembaula Jehova,* Taateesu, pele alimwi tulaubelesya kusinganya bantu bakalengwa “mucinkozya ca Leza.”+
10 Mukanwa lyomwe mulazwa kuleleka akusinganya.
Bakwesu, tacili kabotu pe kuti zintu kazicitika boobu.+
11 Sena mukasensa komwe kamaanzi mulakonzya kuzwa maanzi mabotu amaanzi aalula?
12 Bakwesu, sena mukuyu ulakonzya kuzyala maolifa, naa sena musaansa ulakonzya kuzyala nkuyu?+ Amwalo mumaanzi aamunyo tamukonzyi kuzwa maanzi mabotu pe.
13 Ino nguni musongo alimwi uumvwisya zintu akati kanu? Kwiinda mukulilemeka kabotu, aatondezye milimo iicitwa cakulibombya akaambo kabusongo.
14 Pele ikuti myoyo yanu kaizwide munyono+ akukazyanya,*+ mutanoolikankaizyi+ akubejelezya kasimpe.
15 Oobu tabuli busongo buzwa kujulu pe; mbwaanyika,+ mbwabunyama, mbwamadaimona.
16 Nkaambo kufwumbwa ooko ikuli munyono akukazyanya,* alimwi kunooli manyongwe acintu cibi cili coonse.+
17 Pele busongo buzwa kujulu ikusaanguna bulasalala,+ mpoonya buleta luumuno,+ bulanyoneka,+ bulilibambilide kumvwida, bulizwide luse amicelo mibotu,+ tabusalululi+ naa kuupaupa ameso.+
18 Kunze lyaboobo, mucelo wabululami ulasyangwa muluumuno+ akati kabaabo baleta luumuno.+
